Hello everyone!

I hope anyone of you can tell me where I can find the following files:

1. Background image during a match pause screen

2.  The default King of the Ring logo that you see when you create a none title tournement

3. WWE2k19 animation when you return from a match to the main menu

Thanks in Advance for any help

Hi,

A lot of these files are texture files located in certain subfolders. A lot of them are usually discovered by trial and error.

All these are located in either the pac/menu/win /projects folder or pac/menu/win/assets subfolders.

The files will need to be decompressed, but the minor thing here is decompressing the oodl files. You will need oodle tools for that.

The King of the Ring Logo can also be located in the pac/logo folder, but there are a lot of logo's here so it's hard to know which is which.

The 2k19 animation is a transition located in the pac/mov/transition and pac/mov/transition_replay folders. These are the 000024.pac files in these folders. You can't remove them, only replace as the game will freeze after a match without these transitions.

@squaredcirclefan As always you helped a lot. Thanks to your informations, I was able to replace those animations. Used an old WWF Intro to replace the default one.

In case someone else likes to reproduce this:

Make sure that your bink movie file has the same size/resolution as the file you like to replace. You get that info, along with some others, by opening the RAD player and select "file info" in the menu (not by opening the file directly!)

So far no luck with finding the other files. The Logo folder is promising, however I wonder ift here is a tool that could help me analyzing the files faster. Because currently I do:

Extracting the file with the PAC tool, decombressing it with the oodl tool, renaming the extension to. dds and crossing fingers that I found the file I need.

There has to ne a faster way, please tell me tha there is one!

Something came to my attention while searching for image files I might want to edit or replace:

I stumbled to files in which that RePac2k19 says:"Higher format DDS file detected, Unable to render"  (like in the file ltag_tournament_win.pac)

So when I etract und decrompress it and name the extension to .dds GIMP can't opne it. So does anyone know what type of file that is, or how it can be opened/what programm can read it?

I can open them with Photoshop, but not with GIMP and Paint.net aswell.

I can send you the png version of these files if you want

@SeeFusion You could opne it with Photoshop?? How? I mean DDS is a GIMP default file, it should work. So what's the trick? Do you have a plugin?

I would need the information how you did it, so I can reproduce it. Otherwise I would have to bug you a gazillion times for helping me out with extracting and opening files. As there is a couple of stuff I would like to do :)

@SeeFusion I see, thank you, man! Squaredcirclefan, also explained the situation to me. So I now installed the plugin. I can open the file, but it doesn't look like anything useful. Plus I don't get it why I can't open the file with GIMP, as .dds should be supported by GIMP, by default, and I mean all .dds and not just some.

Anyway, the plugin, somhow works, but that what I see are just some black squares in different shapes, IDK what's more frustrating to not be able to open a file, or to be able to open it, but all I get is an image that doesn't look like anythng I can use, or that gives me a clue for what it is good for. I really feel stuck, not making any progress at this point.

Np! Yes it's weird that it isn't working with gimp..

 

Which files are black squares ? The ones in the ltag_tournament_win.pac ?

First of all, thank you! I like to share what I found outthe problem was. @WhereTheFdidTheEgo made me aware that the files I tried to have a look at are .dds2 files.

I head the issue of just seeing "Black squares" because I found out that has to do that the plugin caused it. So I switche from the Nvidia DDS plugin to the Intel DDS plugin. Now I actauly see image files.

Regarding GIMP, Photoshop or Paint.Net if you have the plugin. it doesn't really matter what you use, it's all about if the plugin works And GIMO couldn't open them, because without that plugin it only can read standart .dds files not the dds2

So it boils down of having an issue with the plugin
